Awakening

We had meeting last week in our biological farm in Poland. All our more or less Prout-workers in Europe gathered together to share good news about our projects, to discuss problems and make plans for the future.

Future what kind of future? Proutistic, of course. We really believe soon it is time for Prout. People are becoming more spiritual to realize the need for economy that is based on spiritual values. Spiritually minded leaders will appear and will be dragged in the frontlines.

Spirituality is the first, then only mental and physical things will be beneficial, as spirituality guides with its every step for selflessness; taking care of others, sharing and loving. Isn’t that beneficial for all?

Service mindedness is the spirit of the future. Who adopts it in this stage will become example and inspiration for others.

We enjoyed with full heart spiritual satsanga (togetherness), meditations and fresh organic food. For a while in Poland I could forget the world crises, but here I’m again listening radio and thinking what is going on in the world, what to do to make difference?

The world elitist leaders are calling for crises management office for EU. Their strategy seems to be to drumbeat the crises and utilize it for getting the people to accept their solution the United States of EU. And after that the next step could be the world government. But I don’t think they will succeed this time in their effort, it is too late, people and governments are awakening. The idea of US of EU or World government itself is not bad idea, but who will materialize it? Those selfish, power hungry, greedy exploiters, who made up the crises at first hand?

Awakening? Becoming conscious: politically, economically and spiritually. That is happening and changing the entire power structure.

Sarkar about awakening:

Among the common people a new awakening will come, a keen intellect and wisdom will emerge, and a new pattern of history will be the result. In fact, a new pattern of history has already started to emerge, and in the future this development will undergo further change.

Human intellect is indeed awakened through various kinds of natural, social, psychic and economic struggles. Those who seek the awakening of their intellects should not be afraid of struggle.

Kriyálopa is when a ritual, observance, rule or regulation is abolished due to an awakening of or a development in the faculties of judgement, intellect or wisdom.

All over the world women are awakening. No longer are they willing to remain silent in the face of oppression. They are finding their voices and the strength to fight. Men, too, are realizing the importance of women’s long-overdue awakening if society is to progress to its next evolutionary phase.

It is for the awakening of this intuitional consciousness that sádhaná or spiritual practice is necessary.

With the awakening of nityánitya viveka in human minds and the opening of the door of scientific knowledge, it will not be possible to deceive the people in the name of religion or by holding out the lure of happiness in the next world. The vested interests are quite aware of this fact and hence strive to keep the masses lost in the darkness of ignorance. Like parasites, they manoeuvre themselves to misappropriate, by injecting fear and inferiority complexes, a lion’s share of what the ignorant masses earn with their sweat and blood.

When people merge their individual socio-economic interests with the collective socio-economic interest, the outflow of economic wealth from a region will cease and exploitation will be completely rooted out.

As long as a human being lies inert in staticity, that is, remains engrossed in the worship of mundane things, it is said to be the Kali Yuga of that person’s life. When on waking from sleep the person realizes that he or she has to get up, this awakening or awareness is compared to Dvápara Yuga in his or her life.

A man engaged in bad things all of a sudden feels that “No, I shouldn’t do all these things. No, I should be a good man henceforward.” Such an idea all of a sudden comes in his mind. And this thing, this change of mental tendency, is brought about by samvit shakti of Vidyámáyá. Do you follow? This is what is called samvit shakti. “No, henceforward I must be a good man. No, henceforward I must be a spiritualist. I must not encourage any depraving idea.” Samvit shakti.

The reaction to one’s actions (karmaphala) will have to be experienced, and it is not within the authority of even the greatest of devotees (sádhakas) to stop this…As a punishment, suffering from a serious disease may awaken the desire for sádhaná (intuitional practice) to achieve emancipation. But many straying and ignorant disciples deprive people of the opportunity of arousing this awakening by relieving them of their suffering with the help of their sádhaná-begotten supernatural powers. They in fact do greater disservice than service to the sufferer.

Awakening the inspiration to get spiritual direction from Parama Puruśa with the help of this mantra is called “Vedic initiation”. Later on, when the person gets proper instructions in spiritual practice for moving on the spiritual path then that is called “Tantric initiation”.
